The people who jack prices on basic necessities during disasters are also just "seeing an opportunity and acting on it". But we call that gouging, and it is illegal.
This instance is much like Uber jacking rates in Australia for people fleeing that attack/hostage taking in downtown Sydney last year. It may not be illegal, but in both cases, it makes you a petty piece of garbage.
